rack and Pinion movement
I installed a brand new T-Bird Rack and Pinion and bushings in my 40 ford truck. Its powered by a GM pwr steering pump with reduction valve installed.
With the tires on the ground I get what seems to me a lot of movement of the rack when I turn the wheel. ( engine running). ( Yes everything is tight as can be)
At the first knuckle/ end of output shaft of the rack there is movement of about 1/4" to 3/8" up and down. All is tight, I can't budge it by hand no how.
What is wrong with this ?
Is it supposed to be like that ?
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
